Thanks for all the great comments. The sun was to the right, look at the shadows, just clouds are bright. Fun learning challenge, I tried out some new tricks and tips, someday I'll catch up to Christophe.

Congrats on the ribbon, Frank! Not to quibble, but if the sun was to the right, the front part of the spike and the front face of rocks on the ground would be lit, not the back :-)
Congratulations Frank! I really like how you managed the depth of field, it's the attention to such details that makes composites more realistic. The choice of the beach is also very good: white sand would have much less impact obviously. Happy to see you're having fun experimenting :-)
Terrific idea, very Planet of the Apes. It's the lighting in the details which kill the illusion (i.e. the light on the gulls is from the right, but the sun is behind them)
